My solution for this (so far) is to make a non-LVM2 /boot partition and store a kernel and initrd in that. You can then build everything else as a LVM partition. Perhaps when the available bootloaders become LVM2 aware we'll be able to do away with a seperate /boot, but for now it seems to be the best way to deal with it.
